Spanish police forcibly evict hundreds of migrant workers amid chaos

Amid chaos and confusion, Spanish police forcibly evicted an estimated 450 migrant workers from the El Walili settlement in the southern province of Almeria on Monday.

Dozens of police officers converged on the settlements as helicopters flew overhead to control the eviction of residents from places some had called home for years.

The plan was to demolish the entire shantytown, but first a fire broke out, causing residents to flee with whatever they could gather.
